I remember seeing his computer lists long ago... they were all identical machines and were generating around 300 cred/day avg, which led me to believe this (edu situation) was the case a year or two ago. It was just a matter of time...

They did claim their was missing equipment which would seem odd for a guy trying to run seti to steal stuff that could be used to run seti.In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

I just hope the uneducated sensationalist gutter press don't drag Boinc and s@h into the dirt. Berkeley need to watch this one very carefully and prepare a rapid response if needed...

Berkeley has always made this very clear............

Quoted from a post by Ageless in the NC forum in a parallel thread.............

"They already have that:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/info.php says:

Run SETI@home only on authorized computers

Run SETI@home only on computers that you own, or for which you have obtained the owner's permission. Some companies and schools have policies that prohibit using their computers for projects such as SETI@home.

Run BOINC only on authorized computers

Run BOINC only on computers that you own, or for which you have obtained the owner's permission. Some companies and schools have policies that prohibit using their computers for BOINC-based projects.

If you deliberately choose to ignore those rules, the consequences when found out are for you only.

So, I think nobody could fault Berkeley for somebody that went rogue and intentionally installed their software on every computer he could get his hands on.Cats.....what more does one need?

whats bad for Seti is that they demonize seti as much as the actual perpetrator. Perhaps a call from the seti/BOINC staff to the news sources telling them their rules that were clearly not followed. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
